2008 in ReviewAs the new year comes in, it time to look back at the musical year that was... The '2008 Best of...' Playlists The year-end playlist for friends and family is an annual tradition for many music lovers. !earshot takes a look at what a few of our friends and family from the music obsessed world of c/c radio are cooking up this year. Weirdoes & Movie Stars: Bazooka Goes Bonkers In the O-EIGHT Fader in the Key of Simultaneity Meat's Sweet Treats Picks and Pans 2008 Looking back at some of the best, the over-rated, local surprises and more... My Top records of the year Jane Bunnett – Embracing Voices – (EMI/Bluenote) Sinistrio – Sinistrio – (Chronograph Records) Molly Johnson – Lucky – (Verve/Universal) Best personal campus/community radio moment or experience of the year. Near the beginning of the year I was to do an interview with BC’s Shane Philip, world-folk artist that plays a didgeridoo. He swung through town on the tail end of a tour to have a chat. There we sat at a coffee shop and my recording equipment died. Deader than a beetle killed pine tree. Fortunately we were able to go over to my friend’s commercial recording studio nearby, and record the interview there. It was a great interview and Shane even gave an impromptu performance. I listened to some very cool music, produced a fine showcase for CFBX and my show, and made a friend in the process. Record I’m most anticipating in the new year. I can hardly wait to hear what Alberta trio Sinistrio have up their collective sleeves. They are currently working on a new album, and I heard it was going well.
